    G'day all. Not sure if this issue has been posted before, however the fuel tap on/off seems to be leaking through the sending wire.?

    1. Has anyone had or know of this happening.
    2. Is it a warrantable item (1month remaining) 1st registered Nov 07.
    It is amazing what is not covered in Huskies 2 year warrantee.

    Kind regards.

    Yes I've heard of this happening a lot and experienced it first hand myself. I'd imagine that it would be covered under the warranty - all you can do is ask; the worst they can say is no!

    If it isn't covered some have successfully repaired it with JB weld. I tried this (and failed) and ended up using a KTM fuel tap. I've since ben told an Acerbis one fits too. I can dig out the part number if you decide to go down the KTM route..........

    Yep, real common. Mine leaked just out of warranty, replaced it with a new stock one. That one leaked too before very long. Replaced IT with a KTM one. It's all good now.

    Finally got a response on the warrantee for the Fuel tap seems, they are going to cover it and that it is a common problem over here as well. ???? Why dont they rectify these common faults or do they want me to go back to an ORANGE THING. :doh::banghead:

    Thanks for the replies about the KTM item. I will get one of those as a spare for the trunk as they are reasonably priced over here.
